Fall weather is sweeping across the nation, well, everywhere except here I suppose! We had some spectacular weather last week, and it got me SO looking forward to crisp mornings, and cool evenings. The edible landscaping is exploding with life right now. My lovely little cucumber patch is doing great, pretty soon we might have to start pickling :) While our cooler temps were short lived here in the Tampa Bay Area, most other places people are well on their way to sporting fun fall fashions; cozy hats, scarves and the like... I'm happy to announce there will be an array of good stuff coming down the pike for happy Hattycakes Customers to cozy up with for this fall and winter!

I've made a few baseball inspired items over the past month, one being the much anticipated Drawstring Backpack, in Yankees Inspired Windsor Blue and White Stripes, I just love it. It incorporates a new stitch I've never used before, it made for a surprisingly sturdy crocheted fabric. There are also Antique Brass Grommets on the bag, the whole grommet technique took some getting used to, my thumbs are still recovering from being whacked with the hammer a couple of times.

The other baseball item is a Rays Inspired Baby Blanket, it was such a joy to create, the happy colors are sure to bring a smile to the new parents' faces for years to come.

I have also produced our first set of Dog Booties for a handsome baby Chihuahua in North Carolina. In a word -- Adorable.Take a spin around the website and look at the new pix and the new items in the online store, as well as new posts in the Custom Order Design Center. Happy Fall~!
